EarthEclipseDuration:

Path: SCPro/ProEphemeris

% Compute the eclipse duration in earth orbit.
   Uses the orbit radius at perigee for the computation.

   The orbital elements are
   [Semi-major axis, Inclination, Right ascension of the ascending node,
   Argument of perigee, Eccentricity, Mean Anomaly]

   Type EarthEclipseDuration for a demo in a 7000 km 85 deg orbit.

   Uses SunBeta and EclipseDuration.

   Since version 11.
